Another Reason To Wish You Were Royalty: Queen Elizabeth Has Someone Break In Shoes For Her!

If you've ever spent a miserable Saturday night pointlessly layering on Band-Aids in a vain attempt to stave off injuries related to the highly dangerous business of breaking in new high heels, you'll appreciate this story about Queen Elizabeth II and her very loyal staff...

The Sunday Times has an interview with one of the queen's favorite designers, Stewart Parvin, who reveals that she doesn't have time for silly little things like breaking in her own shoes: "[They] have to be immediately comfortable...she does get someone to wear them. The Queen can never say, I'm uncomfortable, I can't walk any more.' She has the right to have someone wear them in."

She also has a team that catalogues her outfits and keeps careful track of repeats so it only seems like she's wearing something brand new every time she makes a public outing: "Every dress has got a name — we'll get that in an email," Parvin reveals to the paper. "It's the only way we know which is which. There is one called Buttercup, which is a really popular one. So they can ask, Have you got Buttercup?' Oh it's that yellow dress!' The one thing that she likes, so she wears it a lot. Then they catalogue where the outfit has been worn — so if she was going to meet President [Barack] Obama, she wouldnt wear the same dress. That's why people will think she wears things once, because there's such a system."

Jealous, much? Us too. I guess royalty really does have its privileges!
